  2. Statistical hypothesis test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_hypothesis_test

    The former often changes during the course of a study and the latter is unavoidably ambiguous. (i.e. "p values depend on both the (data) observed and on the other possible (data) that might have been observed but weren't"). [69] Confusion resulting (in part) from combining the methods of Fisher and Neyman–Pearson which are conceptually ...

  3. Variable and attribute (research) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_and_attribute...

    The values are ordered in a logical way and must be defined for each variable. Domains can be bigger or smaller. The smallest possible domains have those variables that can only have two values, also called binary (or dichotomous) variables. Bigger domains have non-dichotomous variables and the ones with a higher level of measurement.

  4. Citation analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citation_analysis

    An additional example is provided by patents which contain prior art, citation of earlier patents relevant to the current claim. The digitization of patent data and increasing computing power have led to a community of practice that uses these citation data to measure innovation attributes, trace knowledge flows, and map innovation networks. [3]

  5. Data analysis - Wikipedia

    Users may have particular data points of interest within a data set, as opposed to the general messaging outlined above. Such low-level user analytic activities are presented in the following table. The taxonomy can also be organized by three poles of activities: retrieving values, finding data points, and arranging data points. [78] [79] [80 ...

  6. Null hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_hypothesis

    Null hypotheses that assert the equality of effect of two or more alternative treatments, for example, a drug and a placebo, are used to reduce scientific claims based on statistical noise. This is the most popular null hypothesis; It is so popular that many statements about significant testing assume such null hypotheses.

  7. Dummy variable (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dummy_variable_(statistics)

    In the panel data fixed effects estimator dummies are created for each of the units in cross-sectional data (e.g. firms or countries) or periods in a pooled time-series. However in such regressions either the constant term has to be removed, or one of the dummies removed making this the base category against which the others are assessed, for ...

  8. Reproducibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproducibility

    Reproducibility, closely related to replicability and repeatability, is a major principle underpinning the scientific method.For the findings of a study to be reproducible means that results obtained by an experiment or an observational study or in a statistical analysis of a data set should be achieved again with a high degree of reliability when the study is replicated.

  9. Scientific literature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_literature

    Scientific papers have been categorised into ten types. Eight of these carry specific objectives, while the other two can vary depending on the style and the intended goal. [4] Papers that carry specific objectives are: [4] An original article provides new information from original research supported by evidence.
